Trying this for the first time tonight. Wow is it a beautiful tea. Drinking this with my wife by the fire place this evening.
1st steep, 20 seconds: Wet leaves give off a strong dill scent. That is amazing! The color of the liquor is a golden orange. The flavor certainly has a slightly sweet dilly type flavor. So unique. And smooth too!
2nd steep, 10 seconds: The wet leaves give off the dill aroma. So fascinating. The liquor itself is a light tawny brown. The flavor seems to be less dilly and a bit more sweet. Wildflower sweet. Not cloying and not quite tart. A tangy sweetness.
3rd steep, 10 seconds: Strap in, baby. Dill is here to stay. And that is fine by me. I should mention this isn’t a dill pickle type of dill. This is more fresh picked dill from your garden. And even then, not overpowering but still definitely in the forefront. And in this steep, the sweetness seemed to finally be it’s equal, dancing along side it on my tongue.
4th steep, 15 seconds: This isn’t going to be too detailed probably from here on out. Why? This stuff is so smooth and delicious that I am drinking it faster than I can really think and type notes on it. The main thought I had from this round is that I would drink this all day long. No problem.
Well, I’m on my tenth steep of this (5 minutes) and it is still pretty flavorful. I might have to buy another cake of this.

I am so curious about this tea! I love Moonlight White and I’m always pretty curious about teas with flowers, as I tend to like them. Will have to give this a try sometime. I recently had to make the tough decision of ordering this or a loose Moonlight White from Bana that I’ve tried before and loved, and I had to go with that one just so the purchase wasn’t a gamble.
I would highly recommend buying a cake of this. For $12, it is a bargain in my opinion. It has that sweetness of white tea but also an earthy, herby (dill plus some) flavor from the flowers.
